The advanced registration is an in-depth assessment conducted by FPAL from responses provided to an advanced registration questionnaire (ARQ), and once completed removes the need for repetitive and generic pre-qualification activity within the industry. It should be viewed as a pre-qualification of a company to all registered purchasers.
The assessment is carried out across a maximum of 11 business characteristics or elements (although not all elements may apply to a specific business) with the results being expressed as a profile display.
There is no pass, fail or overall single score as a result of the assessment. It is designed to represent your company's capabilities and to allow your clients to decide themselves on what is an acceptable standard for the work being considered.
The results of the evaluation together with the submission responses and the evidence provided are made available for purchasers.
